Show me how funky

Is your chicken now (can you do it, can you do it, can you do

It)

Let me see you get away, get away

When the band starts kickin' now

Show me how funky

Is your chicken now (can you do it, can you do it, can you do

It)

Let me see you get away, get away

When the band starts kickin' now

Oh, if you can do the funky chicken better than i can

I don't mind givin' in to the baddest man (to the baddest man)

Ooh, but i said i(i said i) like competition (like competition)

Yeah, yeah, yeah cause a little competition now keeps me

Condition now

Oh, oh, oh so you better come on (come on)come on (come on)

So get yourself in the groove and get ready to move, come on

Chorus

You've been spreadin' rumors

You're the baddest on two feet

Let me tell you buddy

I'm ready to compete

We're gonna have a showdown

I'm ready, how 'bout you

Oh, we're gonna dance til the midnight hour

Or 'til the sun come shinin' through

Come on (come on) come on (come on) come on yeah, yeah, yeah,

Yeah

Put yourself in the groove and get ready to move, come on

We're gonna have a showdown

Gonna get the low down yeah, yeah, yeah

Showdown

You ought to be around
